If Gavin Newsom is the best the Democrats can do, Donald Trump is going to win in a walk, not to mention a golf cart. This photograph was appeared in an article in Newsweek, LA riots: How Mexican flag photos are a gift to Donald Trump by Dan Gooding, the photo (accompanied by another one…

Yo Andrew Sullivan! Ross Douthat is NOT “the best columnist in the country”.
Recently, Andew Sullivan did an interview at his substack blog The Weekly Dish with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, praising Ross in the manner objected to above. One can wonder, a lot, if Andy’s words were nothing more than excessively good manners, in light of the most recent columns turned in by the two….
Beware of the Doge: Elon Musk’s excellent adventure was an exercise in waste, fraud, and abuse. And lies.
Well, Elon is gone, but the lies still linger. Big bad Elon was going to cut spending by $2 trillion, remember? Actually, for a brief, shining moment, the Musk Man was talking some sense about government spending, suggesting, for example, that, since were’ livin’ in the age of drones, we call a halt to the…
Does the New York Times LIKE making me unhappy? It sure seems that way! The Times tells us they HATE “disinformation”! So why do they insist on running so much of it?
A question to be asked. Last Sunday’s New York Times included a “Guest Essay” by Casey Michel, author of Foreign Agents: How American Lobbyists and Lawmakers Threaten Democracy Around the World, headlined Trump Isn’t the First Politician to Sell the Office, whose literal meaning is “Donald Trump isn’t first politician to be corrupt”. Well, yeah!…
Pickin’ on poor old Joe Joe Biden did a bad job as president. A very bad job. But not THAT bad. I mean, not entirely bad.
It’s become the fashion, to put it mildly, among the thoughtful folk, to take out our frustrations with Donald II on poor old Joe Biden, and who can blame them? Joe did a terrible job on many big issues, most notably immigration and inflation, which alone were probably enough to sink the Democrats’ chances in…
The Agony of the Anti Anti-Trumpers: This Man’s a Maniac! Warning! This outbreak of sanity could last a full 24 hours! Maybe more!
Yes, we do live in “interesting” times, times in which various “thinkers” around the net, after telling us for more than eight years now that Trump is, well, “normal” are discovering that El Jefe Grande is, well, a drooling idiot! I could laugh, and I will, as I recount their grotesque struggles with, you know,…
Donald Trump not a very nice person, Glenn Greenwald, Yuval Levin, Liz Wolfe, and Eli Honig discover Who knew?
It is “amusing”, insofar as watching the death of what future historians will call “The First American Republic” can be “amusing”, to watch yet another crop of innocents, who somehow maintained their innocence through the events of January 6, 2021 and thereafter, to discover that, you know, Donald Trump is a very, very bad man!…
Shorter John Roberts/Amy Coney Barrett: We’re not 24/7 whores! We’re Monday, Wednesday, Friday whores!
It’s true! The U.S. Supreme Court is definitely not Donald Trump’s personal gumball machine! In a small but genuine triumph for judicial modesty and common sense, only four of the six Republican justices on the Supreme Court rolled over for His Donaldness, because the other two—namely Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Amy Coney…
The story of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison & Cowardice: What good is a Constitution if nobody uses it? Billable hours yes, freedom of speech no
Michael S. Schmidt, Matthew Goldstein, Jessica Silver-Greenberg, and Ben Protess have the story, How a Major Democratic Law Firm Ended Up Bowing to Trump, though why the New York Times needed four of its top journalists to “explain” why it took the 200-partner, $2 billion law firm known as “Paul Weiss” no more than two…
Yo, Democrats! Forget about the working class! Worry about the upper class!
Okay, that’s a bit compressed, but here’s the deal: Democrats are in just a bit of a tizzy following the 2024 presidential election results, worried in particular about the fall-off of support for Kamala versus Joe in 2020 among Hispanic men, black men, and the “working class” in general. Should we go left, as Bernie…
